Making Hot Cocoa supports division with decimal amounts. Not every whole-number only drill.
Free, no sign-in. A teacher solution is on the same page, so use the student view with your child.
Before you openAsk the learner to divide a decimal amount and say what each share is.

Source, access and review notes
Public Illustrative Mathematics task page. The .html address responds HTTP 308 to this URL. An anonymous GET of this URL on 2026-11-12 returned HTTP 200 with no login or payment prompt. Where a teacher solution is present, it is on the same page as the student task; this check did not find a separate locked student view. An adult can use the student view section and should not read a solution aloud. Advertising was not observed in the fetched HTML text; that is not a browser, device, or ad-free guarantee. This is a paper or discussion task, not an automatically marked interactive game. Opening the link does not save practice or assess mastery. Diagrams on the page use missing or filename-only alt text, so they are not an accessible image equivalent. Accessibility still depends on an adult describing the picture.

Check understanding
- Compute 14.76 ÷ 4 using a written method to get 3.69
- Explain how to continue long division past the decimal point to obtain a decimal quotient
- Solve a context problem that requires dividing a decimal amount equally (e.g. sharing £18.60 among 5 people)
“Can your child use a written method to calculate something like '17 ÷ 4 = 4.25' — carrying the division past the decimal point to get a decimal answer rather than a remainder?”
